We are there when it matters to support people through dying or grief.

Story

I am in a fantastic ladies book and gin club, called, 50 bar1, named because orignally we were all 50+ apart from 1.  We meet regularly and laugh loads together but we also support each other through very difficult times.  We have chosen to support the Sue Ryder hospice because several of our members have lost loved ones, that were cared for at the hospice and we are all so grateful to them for their support. 

On 9th May at 2pm, my husband will shave off my hair, he is looking forward to this far too much! As requested by people that have already donated, I will get a Mohican first and then spray it pink.  My husband, very sweetly suggested, I go to the shops and into school (I'm a headteacher) with the keyworker children, during lockdown  before the final shave.   I said I would if we could raise £1000!  My son, is in lockdown with us, and he will film  the event live on Facebook at 2pm.

Sue Ryder supports people through the most difficult times of their lives. Whether that’s a terminal illness, the loss of a loved one or a neurological condition – they’re there when it matters. Their doctors, nurses and carers give people the compassion and expert care they need to help them live the best life they possibly can.
